Indeed you will agree will me for the very first time on this one ,that this is a big one for Professor Yemi Osibajo. Prof happened to be the former AG and Commissioner of Justice in Lagos State, while his brother Akin also held the same position in Ogun State and am not sure if he has held any other position in the Nigeria's political scene, after he left the office some years back.
I was privileged to have met Prof some nine years ago, when i was working for Barrister Ebun Adegboruwa, who's law firm was formally on the island. He was a junior colleague to Prof, not until recently that I met him again at Chief S.M. Olakunri's 80th birthday ,where have been invited to photograph by the family at Parkview.
I could recollect that he was a Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God. The parish where Barrister Adegboruwa was pastoring then was about to celebrate their 4th year anniversary and Prof was invited as a guest minister for the service. That was where i discovered that Prof was also a minister in the Redeemed Church. There i marveled at the leadership of Pastor Adeboye to have surrounded himself with great individuals like Yemi Osibajo SAN as pastor under himself.
I was privilege to have a little assessment of him that day. I vividly remembered he spoke about the benefit of waiting on God, who his going to perfect everything at his own appointed time, because he owns all season. He spoke excessively on what God really want from us, which is prayer and thanksgiving. There I realized another purpose driven life and also man's responsibility to the Creator.
My concerns about Prof is that is he really ready for this or this is just a propaganda? Please pardon my ignorant .
As a former AG and Commissioner, your commitment to the educational sector, likewise your contributions in the United Nations
Its takes more than just being a Professor or even a Pastor to be able to work the General in a country like Nigeria. Once a solder always will be.
I hope Nigerians will not regret these if General Buhari eventually triumph in the coming election.
My opinion to Prof is that you should made up your mind and be ready for all challenges because am sure the road is not going to the smooth throughout even with the so called General.
You will surely encounter much distractions as to deviates your mind from that which you have intended to do
"Please stand strong"
I am sure with the level of experiences you have gathered from the various offices in the past, from the office of the AG to Special Adviser and even in the United Nations ,we Nigerians could still be hopeful for a better tomorrow
Prof's experience has no boundary and am
sure he will be able to deal with this successfully.
I wish you the very best in the coming election.
